Chapter 236: Winning an Award

"The nominee for the most popular RAP and hip-hop new artist is... APLUS!"

Hearing the guests on the stage read their names to the small envelopes, Song Ya hurriedly waved to the camera with a smile, "And DJQuik, and NaughtybyNature!"

Walter beside him smiled and grabbed his shoulders. He crossed several rows of seats and waved to Mariah Carey who was looking over.

"No matter what, please maintain your demeanor." Walter whispered in his ear.

"I know I know."

The sad, disappointed or angry expressions of a nominated singer after not winning an award are very damaging to the audience in front of the TV. Fans and passers-by will think that you are unmannered, or that you are too petty to lose even such a thing.

Except for a very small number of spoiled entertainers, there is only one possibility for ordinary stars to be photographed with this expression. They were cheated by the organizers, and they were cheated miserably. For example, MJ got six nominations for the Grammys in 1988, and he should have gotten hints that he would win some of them, so he went on the Grammy stage with joy, sang and danced, and dedicated a well-prepared classic The performance even helped the broadcaster break the ratings record.

The results of it? After being nominated again and again, and then the winners were all others, as if he was called here to teach him a lesson, the tormented MJ's face collapsed on the spot, and he went backstage and cried bitterly. Since then, he has broken up with the Grammy Awards and has not appeared at the Grammy Awards Gala again.

"The winner is: NaughtybyNature! Congratulations to them."

Unsurprisingly, Song Ya turned to find the NaughtybyNature group, and smiled and applauded them. Three young black men from New Jersey came on stage very excitedly. They didn't notice Song Ya's side. It didn't matter, anyway, they showed their posture That's fine.

RAP and hip-hop music are not in a high position now, and the newcomer award is even more on the stage, followed by a series of performances and other awards.

This year's performance lineup is very strong, MC, Guns N' Roses, Whitney Houston and even Brown, the originator of soul and funk music, will take the stage to sing.

After Celine Dion, a singer signed to Sony Columbia Records, and Peabo Bryson, a veteran black male singer, sang Beauty and the Beast, the theme song of the blockbuster movie Beauty and the Beast, the second and last award related to Song Ya began.

"Favorite Soul and R&B Band, Choir and Group nominated for: BoyzIIMen! BellBivDeVoe! Mariah Carey and APLUS!"

Song Ya made a playful grimace at the camera.

"Winner: Mariah Carey! APLUS!"

Now there is no need to pretend, Song Ya slapped his chin vigorously excitedly, stood up and opened his arms, "Congratulations, APLUS." Walt hugged him fiercely, "You deserve it."

"Thank you, thank you Walter."

He gave the camera a thumbs-up before striding towards Mariah Carey.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people in the theater, the two hugged and touched their left and right cheeks. Then Song Ya gently squeezed and supported each other's waist, walked up to the podium together, and received the pointed triangular transparent trophy from the award presenter.

"You come." Song Ya signaled Mariah Carey to speak first.

In fact, the two were already ready, "Thank you, thank you to the organizers of the American Musicians, and thank you to my company, family and fans, as well as the Empire State of Mind made by APLUS, we will also perform it later, as well as live and in front of the TV. I love you all, I love you all."

Mariah Carey talked a lot, and finally ended with "that's it", and gave up the microphone to Song Ya.

"I have this."

Song Ya in a dress took out a small note from her pocket, and the audience laughed cooperatively,

"It's an honor to receive this award..."

The AMA award ceremony is very tight, and it is not suitable for sensational speeches. He also imitated Mariah Carey's speech speed and said: "First of all, I want to thank Mariah Carey..." He raised his hand to Mariah Carey Said, "Without her, I couldn't complete the lyrics and music of Empire State of Mind, and I couldn't complete such a high-level performance. I also want to thank Tommy Motura of Sony Columbia Music, Walter, hi... and Old Joe, I know you must Thank you for watching me in front of the TV. And Al, DeLay and the fans who have been with me all the way, I love you. Thank you!"

After the award presentation, the two walked off the stage, "I'll wait for you backstage." There will be a performance later, and Mariah Carey's blinding sequined hip skirt is a performance costume that she doesn't need to change, and she may There will also be an award, and Song Ya has to go backstage to change the dress first.

"Well, let's go."

The two had kept their measure well, and hadn't betrayed any overly intimate demeanor by the sway of passion.

Backstage in his own dressing room, "Quick, quick." Taraji quickly helped him take off his dress, and changed into a comfortable baseball jacket, jeans and a bull hat.

"APLUS, wait a minute..." The pianist sitting next to the upright piano in the corner played a note, "Let's start."

"I know, don't worry, we have cooperated so many times." Song Ya seriously guaranteed the ticket.

Taraji took out the A+ tag and the big thick gold chain from the jewelry box and hung it on for Song Ya, as well as the huge gold watch. After fiddling with the right position, he took a few steps back, "Well, perfect, you will conquer tonight APLUS in Los Angeles."

"I hope."

Song Ya pointed to the cup, and she quickly handed it over.

Slightly took a sip to moisten her throat, then scrambled for a while, and finally waited for Mariah Carey. The trophy in her hand has become two, "Look." She took one in each hand, Swaying towards Song Ya proudly at the door, it seems that the most popular soul and R&B female singer has also been included in her bag.

"Congratulations, Mimi."

"I'm in the past, see you later." She walked into the dressing room next door.

Soon the staff came to urge them, and the two walked to the edge of the stage together with the pianist. Luther Vandross, the most popular soul and rhythm and blues male singer on the stage, was giving his acceptance speech. And the YAMAHA piano was lifted up professionally, and the musicians began to take their positions.

"Let's go up too."

The three of them also walked onto the stage and stood in the positions they remembered from the previous rehearsal.

"EmpireStateofMind, from Mariah Carey, APLUS!"

At the end of the host's announcement, Song Yachao signaled to the drummer, the drum set started with a strong rhythm, and then a beam of light hit the piano, the pianist and himself standing next to him.

"Grandpa! Friends in LA, how are you!?"

Song Ya raised her voice, and received enthusiastic responses from the stars in the audience. They all stood up and twisted their bodies to follow the music.

"Play it! I grew up in Chicago, now I walk in New York..."

It’s really not appropriate to sing this song outside of New York, but it doesn’t matter, it’s fine to win an award anyway, “Tellbymyattitudethat…” Song Ya poses to the camera with a hip-hop gesture, “Iammostdefinitelyfrom…” Then she pointed at Ma Where Leah Carey stood.

Only then did the light hit her body, and the sequins on the hip-wrapped skirt were illuminated blingblingly, "InNewYork..."

Her voice was so gorgeous that she sang this, and the audience gave her twice as much screaming and applause as Song Ya...

I don't know if it's the reason why the tacit understanding is better after that. The cooperation between the two is even better than in the recording studio. Song Ya didn't get the hint of "don't want to dance", so she approached her.

One hand in the air for the big city

Streetlights, bigdreams all looking pretty

Put your lighters in the air, everybody say...

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

The two faced each other, and she twisted like a goblin.

After she had another nomination, the performance was over, and the two of them went backstage to rest for a while before quietly returning to the auditorium.

It's a pity that Paula Abdul, the most popular pop and rock female singer with the heaviest weight, was awarded to Paula Abdul, the DIVA who was caught in a substitute singer scandal, gained weight and looked like an aunt...I don't know enough now The female singer who is not qualified to be called DIVA took the stage to accept the award and announced her upcoming world tour plan.

"It's only now that I think about relying on live performance to fight back against the scandal? Why did you go so early?"

Walter murmured disdain.
